[users@httpd] Shutting Apache Down in Win 98.....Or not!

Hi All,

Still trying to get to grips with Apache, I'm using 2.0.43 with win 98.
Using the console seems to have no effect so I start the server at a DOS prompt
using this:

apache -k install -n "localhost" -k start -w

Everything runs fine until it comes either to shutdown the machine or to log off
windows....Then I use the -k shutdown option and I get a message saying that
Apache is shutting down and then it says Apache cannot shutdown.

If I try to log off windows or shutdown the machine thru the start menu, I get a
message saying that I need to shutdown Apache first! Is it designed to be
unstoppable under Win 98? Or am I missing something here?

Sincerely,

Simon Hughes

Posted by Jeff Cohen <ap...@gej-it.com>.
In order to "switch" between users while any application is running, you
have will need to install it as a service, to do so on 9x OSs, you have to
go to the registry key that boots up the computer and let it work "at the
background" and the prompt that should be used will be:
Apache -w
(I'm not 100% how is it on 98 but that's what I remember).

All the best,
Jeff Cohen
